My creative time with the company dancers making my new work has come to an end in the studio. RISE is now ready to be refined, polished and staged and will be premièred at our beloved home The Beaufort Theatre
The last section of RISE is titled rewritten as we look with hope to a rewriting of the fate of the gossip and the victims taken from characters in Dylan Thomas’ “Under Milk Wood”
We selected 3 of our FFIN DANCE Youth dancers to perform alongside us in this section in the première on April 6th. They are essentailly what we have fondly called them – mini mes
Our company dancers Catrin, Georgina and Louis have spent some time in the studio during the half term school holiday making work with them that follows the rewriting of the character’s fates. The young dancers are the last image that we see in the piece as they exit the space which imitates a school line in single file.
We had great fun working with them and we hope they had a great experience working in this way; so lucky to be working alongside professional dancers in the studio on a one to one basis.



So now as I hand over my creative “baby” to my trusty dancers, we look forward to sharing the finished work with you.
In addition to presenting RISE in the theatre, we will also be touring this around schools, groups and festivals with accompanying workshops. If that’s something you would be interested in hosting, please get in touch with Catrin on this email ffindancecl@gmail.com
Until I see you next, thank you for accompanying me on this journey …
